Tasting notes
Unwinding in the glass with notes of orange oil, pear, confit lemon and freshly baked bread, framed by a light touch of youthful reduction, Raveneau's 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Clos is full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with huge depth at the core and a tightly wound, muscular profile, concluding with a long, saline finish. If in many recent vintages I've had a weakness for the domaine's Valmur, in 2020 it's clearly the Clos that's the king of the cellar.

The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru was the most reduced of the three Grand Crus that I tasted from barrel chez Raveneau. The palate has a lovely waxy texture, offering slightly herbaceous and peppery notes and touches of orange peel toward the persistent finish. This will put on a bit of weight through its élevage and bottle age, but it will definitely require patience.
